        UPON DUE CONSIDERATION of these petitions for review of


04262010-2-20                  -3-
several Board of Immigration Appeals (“BIA”) decisions, it is

hereby ORDERED, ADJUDGED, AND DECREED, that the petitions for

review are DENIED.

        Each of these petitions challenges a decision of the BIA

denying         a    motion    to   reopen    based    on   either   the   movant’s

failure to demonstrate changed country conditions sufficient

to avoid the time and numerical limits applicable to such

motions or the movant’s failure to demonstrate prima facie

eligibility for the underlying relief sought.                        See 8 C.F.R.

§ 1003.2(c).           We review the denial of a motion to reopen for

abuse of discretion.                Ali v. Gonzales, 448 F.3d 515, 517 (2d

Cir. 2006).

        Petitioners, all natives and citizens of China, filed

motions         to    reopen    based    on    their    claim   that   they    fear

persecution because they had one or more children in the

United States. 2          For largely the same reasons this Court set

forth in Jian Hui Shao v. Mukasey, 546 F.3d 138, 168-72 (2d

Cir. 2008), we find no error in the BIA’s decisions.                         To the

extent that some of the petitioners argue that they were



        2
      To the extent that Petitioner in 08-0705-ag also challenges the
IJ’s underlying decision denying his application for asylum, withholding
of removal, and CAT relief, we lack jurisdiction to review those
arguments.   See 8 U.S.C. § 1252(b)(1); Ke Zhen Zhao v. U.S. Dep’t of
Justice, 265 F.3d 83, 93 (2d Cir. 2001).

04262010-2-20                                -4-
eligible to file successive asylum applications based solely

on their changed personal circumstances, such arguments are

foreclosed by our decision in Yuen Jin v. Mukasey, 538 F.3d

143, 156, 158-59 (2d Cir. 2008). 3

        For the foregoing reasons, these petitions for review are

DENIED.           As we have completed our review, any stay of removal

that        the    Court       previously    granted   in    these   petitions   is

VACATED, and any pending motion for a stay of removal in these

petitions is DISMISSED as moot.                    Any pending request for oral

argument          in     these   petitions    is    DENIED   in   accordance   with

Federal           Rule    of   Appellate    Procedure    34(a)(2),     and   Second

Circuit Local Rule 34.1(b).

                                            FOR THE COURT:
                                            Catherine O’Hagan Wolfe, Clerk




        3
      Contrary to the arguments asserted by petitioners in Docket Numbers
07-5078-ag(L), 09-0927-ag(Con), 08-0248-ag, 09-0024-ag(L), 09-2570-
ag(Con), 09-0652-ag, 09-0762-ag, 09-1066-ag, and 09-4611-ag, we find no
error in the BIA’s refusal to credit petitioners’ unauthenticated
evidence   in   light  of   the   agency’s  prior   adverse   credibility
determinations. See Qin Wen Zheng v. Gonzales, 500 F.3d 143, 146-47 (2d
Cir. 2007).   Further, although petitioners in Docket Numbers 07-5078-
ag(L), 09-0927(Con), 09-0024-ag(L), 09-2570-ag(Con), and 09-1066-ag argue
that the BIA erred by relying on U.S. Department of State Country Reports
that contained mistranslations, that argument is without merit.
